When it comes to your food, nature always has the last word.
Most pro-organic documentaries make their point by taking stabs at the cruelty and other evils involved in the world of industrialized farming. In this short documentary portrait, JesseStraight, owner of Whiffletree Farm, shows us a different approach. As he gestures to the beautiful landscapes that surround us he explains, "being a farmer is special because this is my office. You spend your day making animals happy...you get to do things that help the things around you thrive".
The passion that Jesse exudes in this film will make you question every fast-food burger you've ever eaten, but for all the right reasons.

McDonald's

McDonald's is the world's largest chain of hamburgerfast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries across more than 36,000 outlets. Founded in the United States in 1940, the company began as a barbecue restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald. In 1948, they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955. He subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers and oversaw its worldwide growth.

A McDonald's restaurant is operated by either a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. The McDonald's Corporation revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. In 2012, the company had annual revenues of $27.5 billion and profits of $5.5 billion. According to a 2012 BBC report, McDonald's is the world's second largest private employer—behind Walmart—with 1.9 million employees, 1.5 million of whom work for franchises.

IFOAM EU: challenges and opportunities for organic farming under a new organic regulation

Organic farming in the EU

Today, organic farming plays an increasingly bigger role on the world’s agricultural stage.
In theEuropean Union, the use of organic agricultural land has almost doubled in recent years.
Austria, the Czech Republic and Estonia have the highest proportion of organically farmed land in Europe.
EU citizens are also increasing their demand for organic products. Europe is the second largest market in the world, worth €22.7 billion.
Germans, French and British are the biggest consumers.
Organic farming is often seen as a solution to feeding a growing global population and reducing the environmental impact of agriculture.
Critics, however, suggest that organic yields are on average 20 to 25% lower than those of conventional farms.
More land to produce the same amount of food is needed, resulting in more deforestation and biodiversity loss.
The European Commission, the European Parliament, and EU member states are currently discussing how to regulate the organic farming sector. The outcome of the negotiations will be crucial for its future.

Organic farming harvesting a flourishing future in Germany

The method is old but certainly not obsolete. Organic farming is finding more takers in Germany than ever before. But can it affordably meet growing food demands or just remain a niche for a select few?

Why Organic, Sustainable Farming Matters | Portrait of a Farmer

When it comes to your food, nature always has the last word.
Most pro-organic documentaries make their point by taking stabs at the cruelty and other evils involved in the world of industrialized farming. In this short documentary portrait, JesseStraight, owner of Whiffletree Farm, shows us a different approach. As he gestures to the beautiful landscapes that surround us he explains, "being a farmer is special because this is my office. You spend your day making animals happy...you get to do things that help the things around you thrive".
The passion that Jesse exudes in this film will make you question every fast-food burger you've ever eaten, but for all the right reasons.
